I have an amiga 2000 rev 6.2 mobo. a 1.2gig quantum fireball hooked up to a gvc 030 combo using OS 3.9. I turn it on and it sits there asking for a disk. when I push the warmboot key sequence everything loads up. I've ran the memory tests and everything comes up good. It seems that the hard drive isn't powering up in time for the system to find it. Is there anything that needs to be in the wbstartup directory. Sorry for the noob questions but I haven't used anything scsi in years. and my background is solely in wintel boxes. I'm thinking about putting the hard drive in an external enclosure and trying that. And I have all of the terminators for the enclosures. The hard drive is self terminating as well. Also one last question. Can I unsolder the rgb adapter and put a 9 pin in it's place so I can use my 1084 monitor or does the 23 pin cable have termination in it so I can use my Video Toaster?
Sound like it's the HD not spinning up fast enough to be recognized by the bootstrap. I see you are using OS3.9, I'm pretty sure the kickstart 3.1 roms needed to run 3.1 to 3.9 had this problem fixed in the roms to allow for slower HD to be recognised and boot up from power on.
Not sure but you may find something on Aminet to help solve this problem other than investing in a new faster HD...
